CONSTRUCTION OF ROSETTES.

Application filed June 29, 1926.

' a practical embodiment of the essential features of my invention in the formation of a rosette of the character designated, althougl'i I do not limit myself to the identical braid weave shown by way of exen'iplifica'tion,

since modifications thereof may be resorted to with like results, and without departing from the spirit and intent of my invention in this respect.

lVith this understanding Fig. 1, represents a portion of edge-reinforced braid adapted for use in the formation of my improved configuration of rosette;

Fig. 2, is a side elevation of the braid as folded over upon itself transversely, with the wire edge reinforcements in juxtaposition;

Fig. 3, is a transverse section taken upon plane of line 3--3 Fig. 2;

Fig. 4, is a rear view of the rosette in process of construction;

Fig. 5, is a similar rear view of the completed structure;

Fig. 6 a front view of the resultant rosette.

The braid B, considered 'in a unitary sense, consists of a weave of flexible ma terial I), wound around and between parallel pliable edge reinforcement wires 6, Z), of suitable grade and character. T he weave of flexible material I), thus entwined and incorporated with the reinforcing edge wires 7), I). may consist of threads or strips of silk or other fibrous material, or of strands of tinsel or other material of suitable characfor and flexibility, as may be found most expedient in attaining various ornate effects in the complete product.

The reinforcing edge wires 12, I), while Serial No. 119,337.

pliable in character should be of sufficient inherent stiffness to maintain, under ordinary conditions of use, the shape into which they are bent during the formation of the rosette.

By my method of construction of the rosette, a suitable length of braid B,is folder over upon itself medially and longitudinally, with the reinforcing edge wires in close proximity and parallelism. The lap strip of braid B, thus attained is then wound spirally .upon itself with the reinforcing wires 5, b, constituting a central basic foundation for the superposed convolutions of flexible weave 6, both extremities of the re inforcing wires being then secured together, as by an interlocking twist imparted there-- to, or by any other suitable fastening means, as may be found most expedient.

The fold of the braid upon itself produces a looped and scalloped effect of the strands of the woven fabric which adds materially to the ornate appearance of the rosette.

VVhat- I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. As an article of manufacture, a rosette of the character designated, consisting of a strip of braid comprising a weave of flexible material incorporated with parallel edgereinforcing wires, the braid being bent over medially upon itself with the reinforcingedge wires in juxtaposition, and the folded braid being then wound spirally upon itself to form COIIVOllltlOIlS of which the reinforcing wires constitute a retaining base, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

2. As an article of manufacture, a rosette of the character designated, consisting of a strip of braid comprising a weave of flexible material incorporated with parallel edgereinforcing wires, the braid being bent over medially upon itself with the reinforcing edge wires in juxtaposition, and the folded braid'being then wound spirally upon itself to form convolutions of which the reinforcing wires constitute a retaining base, the ends ofsaid edge reinforcing wires being secured togetherat the centre of the rosette, for the purpose, and substantially in the manner set forth.
